But from all the things why core-utils? I don’t think it is common to need changes in core-utils. Now with this MIT version it may certainly be needed, because of broken compatibility. So it feels like instead of doing nothing (because they work as is) and using GNU core-utils they switch to MIT core-utils that are slightly incompatible and because of that need work. I would assume that it will certainly provide patches for MIT core-utils, but I am sure it will just make another platform target for scripts like macOS. Some GPL projects will change their scripts to make them work with Ubuntu.
I guess corporations will corporate.

Because the kernel is the kernel, you just accept it for what it is. The vendors modules are required to run on the stupid soc made on three generations old fabs you’re targeting in your build and the only other part you need to be portable is the standard core utilities.
